Thanks for keeping it real, and not editing out the fun parts, like fighting to get the belt off.

Hey man do you think you can post what each tool size you used to remove the belt? from the very beginning starting from tire lug nuts. Thank you so much!

in your secondary clutch (upper part) is there a slight movement of the kind that there is still a minimum space to screw because I change my strap and I feel that it does not is not yet tight enough. thank you

Great video, What year is it?

what was the hook shaped tool you were using. Did it allow you to slide the pulleys closer together. Any help is appreciated

The service manual calls it a Belt Removal Tool and should be included in the tool kit that came with the bike. It's got a small hook at one end for opening up the clutch sheaves to remove the belt and the larger end is used to adjust the pre-load on the suspension. Hope that helps.

HI, I have a 2010 Sportsman 850 EPS Touring and need to align the CVTs as the secondary is misaligned to the primary CVT. This is engaging the secondary even at idle RPMs and making it difficult to shift gears. How do i go about sorting the alignment? I have 3 tools from Polaris Special tool set to align but dunno which one is the right one ( PA - 47346, 2870654, EBS 2872292). In case the tools are not right how else can I adjust and align the CVT pulleys?

Is this an issue w Polaris?,are the clutches stock?I just bought a '11 today,that jerks intermittently backing up the ramps,into my truck while in 4x4 mode,

can you breath any harder while removing the belt?

Was there any special alignment or just open and close the clutch?

Nope, just open and close.

Your secondary needs to be shimmed properly. The secondary should not be spinning when the engine is idling. This makes it hard to shift. Once shimmed right, it will shift very easily.

everything on this damn bike is a pita to mess with

Hi my friend! the old belt can you send to me ?

Wow, that's a bitch to do compared to a 570. Great video bud. Thumbs up.

Polaris sure does know how to make something simple complicated and expensive

@@newpylong My friend and I both bought 2015 machines. He got a sportsman 570 and I got a foreman 500. The sportsman broke all the time and he got tired of it and sold it. I still have my foreman and it has been sunk once. Still runs like a champ. I don't really use it for mudding or trail riding anymore, more of a utility machine now. The sportsman was fun when it worked

Does anyone else have the problem of fully Stopp the ATV and then just turning off after stopping?

Those cover are à nightmare

How many miles did you have on your original belt before changing?

BourbonLegend46 my belt crackt by 1700 km

Holy crap, so much camera juggling I got seasick and can't finish the vid.

These comments are hilarious don't own a machine if you can't work on it yourself. Belt change on kine takes 20 minutes. Pretty simple and quickly done. Plus if don't high range ride constantly on difficult terrain you shouldn't burn up belts.

Did not explain anything on what he was doing and why.Not any help at all.

Nothing about changing a belt on this thing is remotely enjoyable... I need to reseal my belt box but I’m dreading it...

How to change a Polaris 850 belt in the field: Put it in park. Take out the key. Remove wallet Extend thumb Pay the next man down the trail on a Japanese quad to take you home.

If you get a Honda you don't have to do that every year

Since that belt was almost 7 years old and still in pretty good condition I'm not too concerned. Besides, I prefer to actually have all 4 wheels turn when I put it in 4WD.

That is a stupid spot for a belt !!
